Vocab/Important Terms

Acid - chemical solution which has a pH lower than 7
Base - chemical solution which has a pH higher than 7
Neutral - chemical solution which has a pH of 7

Arrehnius acid – ionizes to yield H­­­+
Arrehnius base – ionizes to yield OH-
Bronsted Lowry – consists of H+ donors (acids) and H+ acceptors (base)
Lewis Acid-Base – Acids accept the electron pair while bases donate them


Sample Problems
  1. Give the formula of the conjugate base
    1. HPO42- What you do is since the formula is a C. Base, you take away a H+ or a hydrogen molecule and that would mean the charge would decrease by one. so the answer would be PO4-3
    2. NH4+ What you do is since it is also a C. Base, you take away a H+ so the answer is NH3
2. Give the formula of the conjugate acid
a. NH3 What you do since it is a C Acid is that you would add a H+ molecule
to it with a +1 charge. The answer would be NH4+
b. NH2- What you do is that you would add the H+ molecule and charge to the C. Acid so your answer is NH3
